Notes:

1. For those noise sources located within the Wholesale Fish Market Hall which is an enclosed space with an opening to the sea-side, a correction factor of +6 dB(A) is incorporated to account for the reverberant effect inside the WFM as a conservative assumption. For the sound pressure level inside a room due to fixed plant operation can be expressed as SPL=SWL+10log(Q/4pr^2+4/R) dB, where the term 10log4/R represents the reverberant sound field in a room. In a worst-scenario point of view, the term R would become unity and 10log4 equals 6. Therefore, without knowing the interior finishes of the room, we have assumed a +6 dB(A) correction for reverberant effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Calculation of the distance correction

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kh = (20 log R) + 8

(Equation 2, reference from BS5228 equation D.3)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

where:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kh

Distance adjustment, dB(A)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

R

Slant distance between the sound source and the receiver, m

Notes:

1. For those noise sources located within the Wholesale Fish Market Hall which is an enclosed space with an opening to the sea-side, a correction factor of +6 dB(A) is incorporated to account for the reverberant effect inside the WFM as a conservative assumption. For the sound pressure level inside a room due to fixed plant operation can be expressed as SPL=SWL+10log(Q/4pr^2+4/R) dB, where the term 10log4/R represents the reverberant sound field in a room. In a worst-scenario point of view, the term R would become unity and 10log4 equals 6. Therefore, without knowing the interior finishes of the room, we have assumed a +6 dB(A) correction for reverberant effect.

 

 

2. Assuming equipment incorporates with silencers with a maximum of 25dB(A) attenuation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Calculation of distance correction

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kh = (20 log R) + 8

(Equation 2, reference from BS5228 equation D.3)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

where:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kh

Distance adjustment, dB(A)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

R

Slant distance between the sound source and the receiver, m
